Location: Crop Production and Protection
Project Number: 0500-00053-005-176-G
Project Type: Grant
Start Date: May 1, 2024
End Date: Apr 30, 2026
Objective:
1. Produce ~ 2,000 plantlets from the F1 donor plants.
2. Produce ~1,000 DHs.
3. Submit lyophilized tissue from these DHs to the USDA-ARS for genotyping.
4. Produce seed from the DHs and ship seed to cooperators, who will then be empowered by accessing DH germplasm with real-time genotype data.
Approach:
1. Receive F1 seed by June 1 from collaborating research groups.
2. Grow F1 donor plants.
3. Produce ~ 2,000 plantlets (in tissue culture) from the F1 donor plants.
4. Produce seed of ~ 1,000 DHs.
5. Lyophilize leaf tissue from the DHs and send to the USDA-ARS for genotyping.
